Silky smooth operation as a system drive (during the test period)., Excellent reading and writing performance., Good 4K random I/O performance., SATA 6Gbps support., Excellent multitasking potential., TRIM support under Windows 7., Lightning fast...

Slightly slow sequential writing performance by today’s standards.

Let us summarise the most important positive and negative points below: The Intel 510 series 120GB SSD is a well-rounded drive, and it has very good performance when connected via native Intel SATA 6Gbps. 4K random IOP performance is more than enough...

Outstanding performance, Supports TRIM, 3 year warranty, Good amount of accessories included, Nice looking, rugged metal case

High price
